Synopsis
A stranded earthman must convince an alien primitive that he is a God, or become dinner.
History
First publication: Fantastic Universe, June 1956
Review
Once again we see Ellison’s dark vision of the future and the universe. This is at the same time dark and bleak, yet hopeful. The characterization here is great for a short story and the alien and world are well imagined. Recommended.
